Romney Releases Tax Returns From 2010. Owned Swiss Account and Payed Small Tax Rates.

Today, Republican candidate Mitt Romney released his tax returns for the past two years. It turns out that he isn't much like the normal working class American. Romney only has a 13.9% tax rate because his money comes from investments. This tax percentage is lower than most wage-earning Americans and this is quite upsetting for me. As a person who wishes to represent the people, he games the system so as to pay a lesser amount of taxes compared to common citizens. On top of that, he had a Swiss bank account open under his name until it was closed in 2010 because a financial advisor warned that "it could be politically embarrassing" for Romney. However, the article does state that the Romney's donate around $7 million a year to charity (mostly mormon churches) which does make up for some of this. Overall I don't believe this helped Romney very much.
